As for Maddie, she seemed to be warming up to Nicole slowly. They started bonding over their shared love of music and fashion, and Nicole was grateful to have two step-siblings who were becoming fast friends.

As the evening drew to a close, Nicole walked her step-siblings to the door. "It was great meeting you guys," she said, trying to sound casual. "I'm looking forward to getting to know you better."
